Louisville City FC coach James O'Connor was named Coach of the Month for the month of April, the United Soccer League announced Wednesday.

O'Connor kept Louisville City unbeaten with a 3-0-1 record in April, including a 1-0 win over rival FC Cincinnati. O'Connor has twice been nominated for USL Coach of the Year, securing his second nomination after leading Louisville City to the 2017 USL Cup title.

O'Connor received 53 percent of the vote for the USL Coach of the Month award, which is voted upon by the USL National Media Panel and the USL Technical Committee.

Louisville City's six-match unbeaten streak, the best start in the club's four-year history, was broken May 5 with a loss to Indy Eleven. Louisville City sits second in the Eastern Conference standings with 16 points, one point and one game behind leader FC Cincinnati.

The next challenge in Louisville City's title defense is Sunday's road match against Nashville SC. Louisville City came out on top, 2-0, when it hosted Nashville SC at Slugger Field for its season opener.
